Kininvie Distillery, established in 1990, is a lesser-known single malt whisky producer and a sibling to the renowned Glenfiddich and Balvenie distilleries. Founded and owned by William Grant & Sons, Kininvie's production is primarily used in the blended whisky Grants and blended malt whisky Monkey Shoulder. As a result, a single malt of this age from Kininvie Distillery is a rare find. The very first 23-year-old Kininvie was launched in 2013 in Taiwan.
The Kininvie 1990 Batch #001 Hogshead & Sherry Butts is a 42.6% ABV, 350ml single malt whisky. This particular expression showcases a silky-smooth texture and a complex flavor profile, revealing notes of rich caramel, dark chocolate, and a hint of spices that gradually unfold on the palate. The finish is long-lasting and satisfying, with a delicate balance between sweetness and spiciness that leaves a lasting impression.
This whisky was matured in a combination of Hogshead and Sherry Butts casks, which contributes to its unique and well-rounded character. With only 6430 bottles available, this rare release is a must-try for whisky enthusiasts and collectors alike. Nose offers maltiness and sweet barley, with fresh apples, melon, light oakiness, and floral notes with hints of soap later on. Taste includes cereals and toasted oak with a metallic edge, creamy texture, vanilla, honey, and aniseed. The finish is medium-long, dry with a little pepper and some liquorice.
